The Department of Community and Human Services’ Veteran, Seniors, and Human Services Levy (VSHSL) is proud to announce the funding recipients for the Regional Human Services Coalitions Request for Proposal.
This funding will help support regional human services coalitions in partnering with DCHS’s Adult Services Division to:
- Disseminate information on funding opportunities to organizations operating in underserved or geographically under-resourced portions of the county.
- Identify and connect new and existing providers to capacity building opportunities and technical assistance.
- Build a conduit between King County government, the larger human services ecosystem, and our King County residents so that all three parties have an additional avenue to provide feedback on service gaps and collaborate on opportunities to strengthen service system delivery and effectiveness.
